3. All of the whiners, naysayers and such - I only have one thing to say:
You are all going to feel like such idiots - when you actually get the software in your hands.
So my advice is to just stop with all this bad stuff.
My version is running fine on an ATI 5870, Core 2 Q9650 @ 4.0 with 4 GB RAM....
I'm staying away from the boards for the next two days while I feel like I'm 18 again.
Oleg, Ilya - you and your team is as incredible as I always thought. Even though I can't read a lick of Russian - it's all worth it.
S!

There's been a link to the Russian forum posted elsewhere on these boards, i ran it through google translate and apparently that guy was able to get a stable 60 FPS with some tweaking of the conf.ini file. If i recall correctly, he was running a mid-range Ati 5xxx series card with an AMD quad core and 8GB of RAM. Don't hold me accountable to this, i'm just going from memory here, but his system was more or less a current, mid-range rig.
If he can do a steady 60FPS i guess that my i7 920 with Ati 4890 will do 30 or so, but i'll most probably need to upgrade ram from 3 to 6 GB first.
My overall assessment is they were forced to push it out the door early and on top of that, they were struck with last minute requirements as well, possibly to the point that they didn't even have time to include a revised readme file on the disc that would point out some performance tweaks.
All in all, we're 3 days into the release and people are already working out the rough edges on their own. I guess we'll be fine in a couple of months and a few patches down the road.
I too was on the brink of cancelling my pre-order and getting it after a patch or two, but i think things will be fine eventually and i want that collector's edition, so the pre-order stays.
